Carp
Carp fishing in the Ohio River near Wellsburg, West Virginia, can be surprisingly rewarding. The river's fertile waters and abundant food sources allow carp to thrive and reach impressive sizes. Many anglers overlook carp, but they are a challenging and worthy adversary. Spring and early summer are excellent times to target them, as they become more active and move into shallower areas to spawn. Corn, dough balls, and boilies are all effective baits. Pre-baiting your fishing spot for a few days can significantly increase your chances of success. Look for areas with slow-moving water and plenty of vegetation. The riverbanks near Wellsburg offer numerous access points for shore fishing. A medium to heavy rod and reel with a strong drag system is essential for landing these powerful fish. Don't be surprised if you hook into a carp weighing over 20 pounds! Remember to handle these fish with care and release them unharmed to ensure the sustainability of the fishery.
